I shot a 10 shot string measure match at Cody in early May.
String was 4.087" of .4087" average distance from center.
Its even more interesting when its understood that shot #5 was out 2.2" from center when I misread the wind.
Distance 60 yards. Open sights, plank rest.
This is a composite drawn using all 10 targets on the back of an identical target drawing the bullet holes with a pen so the marked circles are under 50 caliber. The x is the center of the target that the string in measured from.

Took home most of the prize money.

100 yard 20 shot match on the 31st was not as good, worse wind. Blew from all points of the compass during the match. Shot on the 100 yard 25 ring Schuetzen target 5 shots on each target.
Winning string, shot with a 45 caliber percussion rifle with a globe front sight and "lollipop" tang sight beat my open sighted flintlock for first place by .069". The shortest two strings were shot with round balls Steve's 32.508 and my 32.577. Third place was using a cloth patched picket bullet and I think a scope at 34.261. But the wind really got him on 3-4 shots and he shot a 9"+ string on target 4.
11 competitors.
